Tony Calvin York Tips For Thursday 24th August 23

3:00pm – Clipper Stakes Heritage Handicap 1m ITV: THE GATEKEEPER @ 14/1 with BetUK

The first of Calvin’s York tips on Thursday is Charlie Johnston-trained The Gatekeeper. Calvin believes this 4-year-old gelding is the one to back with jockey William Buick given the ride in this 1-mile handicap. He is priced as a big outsider at odds of 14/1 with the best horse racing betting sites.

Calvin would have liked less pace in the race and a slightly lower draw than 13 for him, but the Betfair man is confident that William Buick will do the necessary and he is sitting on a horse with very solid claims. He has run two crackers of late, and he is actually 2lb well-in after his second of 20 at Goodwood last time.

The horse lost momentum when being switched to make his challenge 1f out (a run would have appeared had he sat tight on the rail) and he could not quite reel in the winner, going down by half-a-length. Calvin normally likes course form at York, and he hasn’t raced here before surprisingly, but the racing tipster likes his chances.

3:35pm – Pertemps Network Yorkshire Oaks (British Champions Series Race) Group 1 1m4f ITV: NOVAKAI @ 12/1 with BetUK

To finish off the Tony Calvin York tips on Thursday, the Betfair racing blogger is backing Novakai in the Yorkshire Oaks at 3:35pm. She is priced as a relatively big outsider at odds of 12/1 with the best horse racing betting apps to triumph in this 1m4f Group 1 race.

The Betfair blogger hopes The Gatekeeper’s jockey Buick has a very good day, as he also is on her too, for the first time since he steered her to a length second to Commissioning in the Group 1 Fillies’ Mile at two. She was rated 113 after that run (now 107) and she has not done badly at all this season.

Her French Oaks run from a midfield draw was a little underwhelming but she finished second to the Oaks winner Soul Sister here in the Musidora. She proved her 1m4f stamina when winning an admittedly weak Listed race at Newmarket last month. She is a filly with a lot of upside about her and she has also won on good to firm.
